Today I am grateful for:
1) Waking up ~ to another beautiful day in my love filled home with my amazing puppy, 2 fabulously furry kittens, and a faith I know will carry me through.
2) a new ironing board ~ bought with my Canadian Tire Money!! Does anyone remember when it was actually like bills? I used to love collecting it when I was a kid. Came in handy today though, now I need to figure out how to use the iron, I was never very domestic.
3) Cleaning with ADHD ~ I swear to all that is good in this world, if I could just get one thing done......its really good for a laugh though as I sit down to a coffee in the middle and realize the trail I cut through my plan to get here.
4) the power of this meme ~ I had so many days like that in my early sobriety. I didn't know who to trust, where my next meal would come from, where I would live, I had truly lost my sanity, every inch of it in Arizona. Many days I would just hold my head and rock myself with tears streaming down my face saying, if you give up now, they win, and I'll be damned if I will let those fu***rs win. When you walk that brink of losing all sanity, it is a very dark and scary place. I am living proof though that we can come back from there. We can find a way, it might not be easy, we will lose people we thought we loved or we thought loved us, we will begin to see the pain we caused people, which really took the wind out of me, we will learn to let go of the past and the light will shine again. I found hope and my entire life changed, I had no idea hope was bottled up in a woman named Geri who was a caseworker in the treatment center. A single hug from her changed my entire life, read my book and see.
5) Clean sheet night ~ wohoooo best night ever
6) playing in the yard with Zeus ~ seems like so many of his friends have the wicked kennel cough and I want to steer him clear of that so he can keep going to daycare and not be stuck home everyday while I'm at work.
7) morning cuddles ~ phew Zeus and I slept in until 8:30 like sound and solid I woke up and he was laying next to me with his head on his pillow like a big boy! I love my puppy!
8) a quick trip to the pet store ~ needed more litter, and they got Zeus a new squeaky toy I thought he would love, not so much it seems it ended up in the yard. I think he is just sad about not being at the park poor guy!
9) Taking Zeus to Canadian Tire ~ he was such a good boy, and so well behaved today. Everyone wanted to pet him and ohh and ahh over how handsome he is. I feel like he blushed a little with all the attention. He loved all the smells though and that tired him out a little.
10) downtime ~ once I get through this cleaning it will be downtime tonight ~ tomorrow the plan will be all the time with the puppy!!
May whatever you believe in keep you safe and loved while you rest.
WE ARE ALL WORTHY!
~Namaste~ from my heart to yours
Much love,
Dawn
